0·16 Sept 2026·on 6 month old's first cup: steel tumbler, sippy or straw? Every relative has a vote

Things have probably changed since our son's crèche days, he's 20 now. But we sent his own cup from home and asked them to use it. They didn't mind at all. Ask whether yours allows it.

1·13 Sept 2026·on Small playgroup now, AL-Falah School's nursery next June. Does a bigger class matter at 3?

This goes back nearly twenty years, my son is 21 now. He was in a nursery class of about 40 with one teacher, and he came out fine. I do remember she didn't seem to know which one was him for the first month ❤️

1·30 Jul 2026·on Saw the big ground at Prince High School in Bolarum on a birdwatching morning. How much should a ground decide a primary school?

My son's school had a huge ground and he spent twelve years on it. What I remember now is the bus, two hours a day. I'd choose the ride first and the ground second ❤️

6·4 Jun 2026·on Upper back and neck ache after four months of feeding hunched over. What helped?

Not my back, my partner's, when our son was small. The one-hip carrying turned out to be a bigger problem than the feeding. Switching sides on purpose and using a carrier for walks helped. Don't wait for it to pass. We waited and it took much longer.

0·13 May 2026·on Heat rash all over our 6 month old's neck and back, and daycare says we dress him too warm

Twenty years ago my mother did exactly this with our son. Two layers minimum, whatever the weather. Our doctor told us to dress him the way we dressed ourselves, plus at most one thin layer if the room was cold. Took a while to convince his grandmother, but the rash cleared once we did ❤️
